Below-normal snowpack in the Upper Fraser is leading the River Forecast Centre to predict low river flows in this region this summer.
As of April 1, snowpack stood at 71 per cent of normal in the western portion of the basin and at 75 per cent in the eastern side, according to the agency's monthly bulletin.
In the Nechako basin, the level was 106 per cent. Normal levels of spring flood risk are predicted for that area.
By early April, 96 per cent of the province's annual snowpack has typically accumulated, with maximum accumulation generally occurring in the middle of the month.
"With two to four weeks remaining in the snow accumulation season, changes to the
seasonal runoff outlook are possible, but at this stage would require extremely wet or cool
conditions to make a significant impact on seasonal flood risk by either accumulating more
snow, or delaying the melt season," the RFC said.
